grafitiyul

grafitiyul (Hebrew: גרפיטיול) is an Israeli graffiti-art collective and experience operator that designs and runs interactive street-art tours and graffiti workshops. According to its official website, the business operates in three main Israeli cities — Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem — and combines guided walking tours of graffiti districts with hands-on creative sessions led by professional graffiti artists. The company describes its offering as a way to "discover the stories behind the walls," presenting graffiti and street art as a lens onto urban culture, local history and social issues rather than merely as decoration. The core product is a guided graffiti tour. In Tel Aviv, the flagship route runs through the Florentin neighbourhood, which the company calls the graffiti capital of Israel, and includes an optional graffiti workshop in which participants create a personal artwork on a vinyl record. In Haifa, the tour explores the city's long-standing street-art scene and the local and international artists who paint there. In Jerusalem, the route examines graffiti connected to the city's Jewish, Muslim and Christian communities and how they coexist. A special thematic tour, "Walls of Hope," follows graffiti created in the period around the events of 7 October and the subsequent war, focusing on personal stories, memory and hope, and ends with a shared wall-painting workshop. Beyond public tours, grafitiyul organises private and group events, including intimate tours for couples and team-building activities for companies and organisations. The website states that more than 422,000 people have taken part in its activities, that more than 2,000 people join each month, that it has been operating for 12 years, and that it holds a 4.9 Google rating based on more than 6,230 reviews, with a team of 15 professional guides. These figures are self-reported by the operator. The business is privately held and appears to be an independent Israeli enterprise rather than part of a larger travel or entertainment group. Its brand identity rests on authenticity — tours are led by practising graffiti artists who explain the techniques, risks and unwritten rules of the scene — and on interactivity, since most products include a workshop element in which participants make their own graffiti-style work. Wikidata classifies grafitiyul simply as a "group of Israeli graffiti artists," reflecting its dual nature as both an artistic collective and a commercial tour and workshop brand.

grafitiyul is an Israeli graffiti-art collective and tour-and-workshop operator. Its official website states that the business has been operating for 12 years, which places its founding in the early 2010s, though no exact founding year is given in the available evidence. Wikidata describes it simply as a "group of Israeli graffiti artists," indicating that it began as, and remains associated with, a collective of practising street artists rather than a conventional travel agency. The brand built its activity around guided graffiti tours in Israeli cities. Tel Aviv's Florentin neighbourhood, described by the company as the graffiti capital of Israel, became the flagship route, combining a walking tour of the district's walls with an optional workshop in which participants create a personal artwork on a vinyl record. Parallel tours were developed in Haifa, whose street-art scene the company presents as long-established and internationally attractive, and in Jerusalem, where the tour focuses on graffiti produced by and about the city's Jewish, Muslim and Christian communities. Over time the offering expanded from public walking tours into a broader events business. The website advertises private tours, including intimate experiences for couples, and team-building activities for companies and organisations, positioning graffiti culture as a group and corporate activity. A distinctive thematic product, "Walls of Hope," was created in response to the events of 7 October and the subsequent war, following graffiti born during that period and ending with a shared wall-painting workshop centred on emotion, memory and hope. By the time of the available evidence, the company reports having hosted more than 422,000 participants, with more than 2,000 joining each month, a team of 15 professional guides, and a 4.9 Google rating from more than 6,230 reviews. These are self-reported operating figures. The business remains privately held and independent, with no parent company identified in the evidence.
